Reviews

Former tenant·38 minutes ago

Nice but problems persist

Pros

Affordable for the area and a lot of space. Not a lot of units means not a lot of people to deal with, and most are respectful.

Cons

Repairs are very difficult to get done. They only have two supers for every building in their portfolio, so it's damn near impossible to get any repairs done in a reasonable span of time. They also try to drop bigger repairs like the boiler unless you consistently complain.

Advice to the owners

Hire a super for every building so your two people don't have to scurry all around the city.
